The post New Year's diet craze is most certainly upon us, and just in case any calorie counters out there needed extra inspiration, 2009's 20 Worst Foods in America list was just published. Here are some highlights:

• Worst Burger: Chili's Bacon Cheeseburger @ 2,040 calories
• Worst Sandwich: Quizno's Tuna Melt @ 2,090 calories
